Description :
Because minimal information is available about surfactant metabolism in
bronchopulmonary dysplasia, we measured half-lives and pool sizes of
surfactant phosphatidylcholine in very preterm baboons recovering from
respiratory distress syndrome and developing bronchopulmonary dysplasi...

Description :
We studied the synthesis of surfactant and the effect of prenatal
betamethasone treatment in vivo in very preterm baboons. Ten pregnant
baboons were randomized to receive either betamethasone (beta) or saline
(control) 48 and 24 h before preterm delivery. The newborn ba...

Description :
Most in vitro studies show that prenatal administration of corticosteroids
stimulates the synthesis of surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PC), but
studies in animals are controversial. Whether prenatal corticosteroids
stimulate surfactant PC synthesis in humans has not bee...

Description :
Background. Inadequate food intake plays an important role in the development of malnutrition in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.Aim of the study. The aim of the study was to investigate in CAPD patients whether circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) bioactivity m...

Description :
Background. Two well-described methods for measuring whole-body protein turnover (WBPT) are the precursor method using a primed continuous infusion of [1-13C]leucine and the end-product method with a single oral dose of [15N]glycine. We previously measured the effects of amino acid (AA)-containing d...

Description :
We studied surfactant synthesis and turnover in vivo in preterm infants
using the stable isotope [U-13C]glucose, as a precursor for the synthesis
of palmitic acid in surfactant phosphatidylcholine (PC). Six preterm
infants (birth weight, 916 +/- 244 g; gestational age, ...

Description :
Objectives. Protein-energy malnutrition as a consequence of deficient protein intake frequently occurs in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Previously, we showed that peritoneal dialysate containing a mixture of amino acids (AA) and glucose has anabolic effects. However AA-dialysate has been repor...
